Governor Greg Abbott has announced that Funds for Veterans’ Assistance (FVA) grants totaling more than $7.9 million were awarded to 38 organizations in the Southeast Texas Gulf Coast and Houston area as part of the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) Grants Across Texas Tour. Administered by TVC, the funding will provide services to over 5,200 area veterans and their families across 13 counties.
Walker County will receive $35,000 in financial assistance and $70,000 for Housing for Texas Heroes.
TVC Vice Chair and Army veteran Kevin Barber said, “The Gulf Coast is home to one of the highest concentrations of veterans not only in Texas but in the country, and it is our responsibility as their state advocates to link them to local resources.” He said, “I sincerely thank each of our award recipients for serving our veterans. Your organizations are recognized for making a difference in the lives of those who served.”
